Aside from that, I have ANOTHER reason why Goku's such a weak protagonist: his mindless optimism spawned One Piece and a gangload of other series with LEAD protagonists that have ZERO skills outside their goal and purely get by "heart," which really means insane luck and friends who literally do the thinking for them.
At least in One Piece, Luffy does do some pretty OK leadership work early on. I mean, hell, at least he has a job! I mean, Goku has NO JOB. Luffy is a captain. An idiot captain, but still a captain.

Allright just to clarify: Link is BADASS, Freeman is BADASS.
Now shittyness:
I'd say Piers from Golden sun 2, once you get past lvl 40 he's just useless.

mario has so much attached to him, yet really theres no dimension in terms of character depth. hes a plumber....ok.....and hes the first choice to save a princes....yeah not quite getting it...and he kills things by jumping on them......in any other game mario would be out manouvered by a simple side step then uzi'd to death.

also, pokemon trainer boy, renamed 'vagitarian' or 'I heart pikachu wink wink' seems to be quite bland

Also new here, + with that out of that way:

I'm blanking on the name at the moment, but what about that blonde girl from that easily forgetable Capcom survival-horror game where the only real thing she had going for her was that she had a dog? She seemed pretty worthless to me, though I didn't get very far in the game since within the first 10 minutes I was bored + decided to throw in something else.

Also the guy from Boy and His Blob... yeah... pretty worthless. I mean, without the Blob the game wouldn't have any action at all.
ok i had a boy and his blob...and that takes the cake.....what idd he do with that blob anyway.........

You're likely serious, but it'd make more sense if you're being ironic. The closest thing to be considered a non-food-related idea was getting WET to fight a sand-based guy. Othewise Luffy STILL goes by the DBZ formula of screaming, blind faith, deus ex machina out the anus to win and letting his friends do the thinking for him. "Pirate Captain" is really a loose term here as he's NOT really doing anything that says "pirate" so much as being Goku stuck on a boat.

You probably have specific contradictions to what I've said that only a die-hard fan would know, but you said it yourself, "leadership work EARLY ON" not progressively better, but progressively WORSE.

Every single protagonist from a video game based off a 4Kids license.

Don't try to tell me that Luffy is badass when there are billions of cooler video game pirates that would curb-stomp him with relative ease.

Hahahah. Tidus wins at losing, he reminds me of retard Cartman.



Compare:

The messed up hair.
The vacant face.
The silly pose.
The boots.
The asymmetrical boot or arm.
The colorful clothes.
The shirt that is way too small.

Plus Tidus has the stupid looking overall/jacket thingy. And he's wearing his belt wrong because it's over his top, and it's way too high.

And Cartman is only pretending...

Tidus from FFX, Sora from Kingdom Hearts.. You know, now that I think about it, I've hated almost every Square/Squeenix protagonist ever. They're all effeminate emos with no charisma.

My vote would go with the protagonist of Mirror's Edge. Tidus is a wuss of epic proportions, but this person runs, jumps and skips, and then kicks people in the face occasionally. She's either a well disguised chav, or simply Chuck Norris with an Olympic Gymnastics medal in mind.

Ogmo from Jumper.
His abilities include jumping. Oh, he has a double jump. And he dies if anything touches him.

Big the Cat from the sonic series
Nothing was worse than watching that fishing fishing fuck trundle around
at speeds that would make cinderblocks seem lively

the protagonist of Silent Hill 2 was designed to be a regular person trapped in a horrible world, so she's definately a "weak" protagonist.

but the weakest, is the Silver Surfer on NES.

he's by far the weakest creature in the entire game. There are very very few enemies that can be defeated in one hit, and if you touch ANYTHING you die.

Dude, that scar on his face? Self inflicted when he was a LITTLE KID to try and show how tough he was. That alone should earn him some credentials, as well as all the damage he caused when he fought Arlong. (He tor down a bloody tower from the INSIDE!) Luffy may not have much of a body count, but that would be considered a mercy considering the fact that he RUINED most of his foes beyond any hope of a comeback.

Then you take into consideration that bullets LITERALLY bounce off him, and he's nearly as hard to cut, and you have a pirate that's immune to some of the top causes of famous pirate death. Heck, I'm still not certain weither or not he only ACTS stupid.

Now then, to get back on topic. Weakest protagonist? Stryker from MK3. Why ANYONE thought he would be a good idea is beyond me.

Hi, new here.

I'm going with (dare he say it?) GOKU, Yeah, I said it!

"But Goku can teleport across space even dimensions and the Kamehameha Wave and the Super Saiyin...."

Yeah and despite all that power, he has the brain of an 8-year-old as it was likely that his wife tricked him into having sex as he doesn't really care about anything, but fighting and training to fight some more. The only real reason he wins is that its always a p---ing contest between him and whatever villain is out to destroy the world where a deus ex machina comes along to make sure Goku wins. Goku even ADMITTED that he's a villain magnet at the end of the Cell Saga though he instantly comes back against Buu and in GT. Also Goku and his crew showed BALLS-OUT RIDICULOUS irresponsibility when he was given about 3 YEARS of advance warning to destroy the Androids BEFORE they could be activated and go on a killing spree, but NOOOOO!

"That's weak. I want a challenge. Let them be activated, kill people, almost kill my friends and family multiple times until I show up and pull something out my butt to save the day. We can ALWAYS use the Dragon Balls to wish everyone back!"

Everyone always compares him to a fight against Superman or Hulk, but honestly, BATMAN could beat him down by just outsmarting him. It's really not that hard as even the most "evil" of enemies never kicked him in the nads and/or interrupted his 5-minute long attacks and transformations and he'll kindly let any equally long finishing move gear up to hit him.

Goku's SUPPOSED to represent innocence, peace and determination, but honestly, he lives in a world of idiots where making money is apparently evil, no matter what the methods or intentions to do with said money, women are better nags than fighters and that the universe bends in his favor as the king idiot whether its an underestimating bad guy, a planet that's supposed to explode in minutes, but takes MONTHS to blow and of course, a new power/form to save the day.

Goku has all that power, but not only is he useless once the day's saved, but he RELIES on villains to justify his existence, otherwise he's just a bum that can only provide for his family by punching out giant fish. I'm not Superman's biggest fan, but at least when the day's over he actually HAS a life instead of being a fight junkie.
DING DING DING!!! Show's over, people, this comment wins.

Chell from Portal.

She doesn't have an improvised shiv.

She doesn't have a gun (other than one that shoots PORTALS and thus cannot usually cause any bodily harm).

She doesn't even have her fists as a weapon.
